Rainbow at the marina by onewing

Rainbow at the marina

Last night I was in Nelson Bay and only managed to get a couple of shots of this rainbow at the marina before 1, it disappeared and 2, it bucketed down with rain. Managed to get back to the car before the large drops of rain came down though.

It was very warm and humid after the rain shower.
Beautiful composition. Fav

A wonderful moment ! a great strong rainbow colours and the threatening sky above the boats ,all in a row !
February 23rd, 2015  
Lovely capture Babs, oh for some rain to bucket down :)
February 23rd, 2015  
Did you find the gold? Super shot.

@flyrobin Thanks for the fav Robyn. You have to be quick with rainbows don't you, it wasn't there for long.

@julzmaioro Thanks Julia.

@mrsrcg Thanks Rachel. I think there was a second rainbow trying to show itself at the top right of the picture too, but it faded out quickly.

@karlow75 Thanks Kane. I am not so sure about gold at the Marina Resort, it doesn't have very good reviews and isn't the best accommodation in town. Having said that there is certainly plenty of gold in the marina itself, some of the boats there are worth a fortune and it is pretty expensive to moor a boat there too.

@nicknac @annied Thanks Nick and Annie.

@beryl Thanks Beryl, the rain didn't last long, but it was pretty humid and warm after the rain had passed.
February 23rd, 2015  
@hermann Thanks Sally, but don't get too excited, it only bucketed down for about 10 minutes and then we were left with about 90% humidity. Our rain gauge recorded 1 mm rain.

@chimfa Thanks Jane, no I didn't find the gold. By the time I had found the shovel, the rainbow had gone and I couldn't be certain where the end of the rainbow actually was. Maybe next time.

Wonderful capture a great rainbow.

Beautiful scene!

Beautiful harbor scene full of colour and interest Babs, one of which is it shows the balcony of the Nelsen Tower Motel room we stayed in on our road trip driving from Brisbane to Sydney, lol:)

Fab shot Babs.

@tonygig @salza @sioux Thank you. Right place right time shot I think.
February 23rd, 2015  
@pcoulson It is indeed. Nelson Towers is a bit more up market than the Marina Resort. You will have to come here again and we can catch up. How does the saying go "You can run but you can't hide" ha ha.

@sioux thanks Sue

Not only the rainbow but also those boats are captured so well.
February 23rd, 2015  
Fabulous capture
February 23rd, 2015  
FABulous!!!!!
February 23rd, 2015  
Terrific harbour shot....love the spot on position of your shot.......straight on just at the right level for the boats & then the rainbow to finish it off!
February 23rd, 2015  
awesome shot!
February 23rd, 2015  
Fabulous shot
February 23rd, 2015  
This is magic moment we all love.
February 23rd, 2015  
Well captured, Babs - you were in the right place at the right time.
February 23rd, 2015  
Great capture! Glad you made it back in before the deluge!
February 23rd, 2015  
Pretty rainbow!
February 24th, 2015  
Great capture. The marina would like that it's over their entrance.
February 24th, 2015  
Perfect catch!
February 24th, 2015  
@iwatts Thanks Ian. This was one of those five second shots. Spotted it and then it was gone.
February 24th, 2015  
@gosia Thanks Gosia.
February 24th, 2015  
@seattlite Thanks.
February 24th, 2015  
@eyesmile Thanks Gena. Managed to get back to the car before the heavens opened.
February 24th, 2015  
@happypat Thanks Pat. This was such a quick photo. I parked by the breakwater because I am going out for lunch on Wednesday with friends to a new café which has just been built on the waterfront and I thought I'd better check out where it is.
I walked along the breakwater, spotted the rainbow and then had to run back to the car before it poured down. Only wearing shorts and shirt so nowhere to hide the camera to keep it dry either. Just got back to the car in time.

@yeri87 @denisefuller @yaorenliu @dolphin @loweygrace @mabuss Thanks, it was one of those there one minute and gone the next shots.
February 24th, 2015  
@trishaford Thanks Trisha. It was only a very quick downpour and we really needed some rain too. It was so humid after the rain had gone though. February is such a hot and humid month here.
February 24th, 2015  
@kathiecb I think the Marina Resort needs that over its entrance. It doesn't get very good reviews I believe, but maybe it has improved lately.
February 24th, 2015  
Love this shot with the rainbow.
February 24th, 2015  
Love the composition of this shot and the beautiful rainbow!
February 24th, 2015  
Awesome colors and exposure Babs!
February 24th, 2015  
@onewing Love the little extra stories you get behind these photos!
February 24th, 2015  
Very pretty. It's really neat how the words are on top of the rainbow.
February 24th, 2015  
Lovely shot Babs
February 24th, 2015  
Lovely marina shot. Nice capture of the bit of rainbow!
February 24th, 2015  
A great location for a rainbow shot :-)
February 24th, 2015  
Super capture bet the owners of that building at the top would love it.
February 24th, 2015  
@paulaw Thanks Paula, maybe I should email them and ask. They may want my picture on their brochure. ha ha.
February 24th, 2015  
Beautiful combination of the symmetry in the boats and a nice fleeting rainbow!
